Sea Glass! Before leaving Vieques this morning Lazaro and I walked into town to Sea Glass Beach. While Lazaro did his morning jog, I hunted for sea glass. I ended up finding about 10 pieces of sea glass. I was very pleased with my bounty! Other highlight from our trip... We took a ferry from Vieques to Fajardo. On the ferry we met a woman from Chicago (who was feeling seasick) so she came to sit with us in the back of the boat--at the time I wasn't sure this w...

It Glows! Tonight is the night that we travel to Mosquito Bay to see the world's largest bio-luminescent bay. The conditions were not perfect (the moon was half full) but the bay still glowed. I wasn't able to take any pictures from our trip because the guide asked us to keep everything off to make it as dark as possible--so I got the post card to show the effects.

Number 3 on the list included getting incognito gelato. So this morning we checked out of our hotel in San Juan and headed for old San Juan. Once in old San Juan we walked and talked (Lazaro mostly to strangers (I mean new friends)) asking about the precise location for incognito gelato. Each time he ...

A Christmas miracle! After a wonderful day with friends and family we went straight to the Fort Lauderdale airport in search of long-term parking. When we arrive at the designated parking lot we find the entrance blocked. A kind gentleman said there were no spaces but he was going to send us to the overflow lot. He gave us directions (which we followed) only to arrive at an open field surrounded by clusters of "workers" each competing for our attention. One of ...
